Do you have a passion for supporting people to rebuild their lives? Our client is looking for Assessment and Reconnection workers to join their excellent team in Hounslow. The Hounslow LIFE service is a large multi-site supported accommodation service that has a staff team of 31 supporting 86 clients, covering specialisms such as Homelessness, Substance Use and Mental Health.
This is an exciting opportunity to join their new Assessment Hub team at Apple Tree Cottage, providing rapid assessment and support into appropriate accommodation to clients over a 28-day period, ensuring those at risk of rough sleeping and homelessness can be directed to services suitable to their immediate, medium and longer term needs.
In the role of Assessment and Reconnection worker you will:

- Have some housing management responsibilities as part of ensuring they deliver safe, high quality services.
About you
To succeed in this highly rewarding role you would benefit if you:
- Have an understanding of the issues faced by homeless or vulnerably housed people – you may have had personal experience of homelessness yourself.
- Have a creative and dynamic approach, with excellent communication skills, and the ability to build relationships and negotiate with a wide range of partners and external audiences.
- Have the ability to operate in a fast paced environment and manage a varied workload and multiple priorities.
- Have knowledge and understanding of the housing and support needs of people experiencing homelessness.
However, above all they are looking for inspirational, committed individuals who have a genuine desire to support people to transform their lives.
Please note, due to the needs of all their services, there is a requirement to work a shift rota, so flexibility is required. This will include some weekends and bank holidays, and the role will be service based with no home working.
